CN Tesla Kills Two in “Veered” Zhejiang Crash With No Data

The mysterious case of a brand new Tesla that crashed on a Zhejiang mountain road in China highlights a lack of both car and data integrity.

Firstly, they were shocked to learn about the vehicle’s speed at the time of the accident. According to Mr. Tang, the traffic police revealed that the vehicle had reached a maximum speed of 120 km/h. This revelation was startling to the family, as they couldn’t fathom how a vehicle could reach such a speed on a winding mountain road.

Secondly, the absence of any brake marks at the accident scene raised eyebrows. When Mr. Tang and his family visited the site, they were met with this puzzling scenario.

Mr. Tang expressed his confusion, “One would assume that the driving recorder should have captured some useful information during the vehicle’s operation. Even if the impact rendered it useless, there should at least be a record of the moment of impact. But the police are saying that there’s no record at all, which is quite baffling and inevitably prompts some distressing thoughts.”

In response to the incident, a Tesla representative stated today that they are aware of the accident and are currently relying on the police for information.

Tesla officially says they are relying on police for information?

There’s a bizarre irony to this tragic tale given Tesla just asked the Chinese government for a financial bailout based on sharing data with them, the opposite of what is being reported here.

Tesla Cybertrucks Dump on Market But Nobody is Buying

It turns out if you buy a new Tesla vehicle, not only will you be miserable from all the quality failures, witnesses also will wonder why you fell for the scam. Nobody is buying, like nobody should be falling into any fraud, and that’s a good thing.

In Nantucket, for example, a Cybertruck immediately became newsworthy for the usual Wankpanzer reasons, driving attention to poor life decisions (unartificial unintelligence). The town paper simply said out loud what everyone was thinking when a Tesla came to town.

The vehicle with Connecticut plates was first spotted by people on Main Street, where it was parked directly on a crosswalk in front of Congdon & Coleman. But that was just the beginning.

A few hours later the truck reappeared, and this time it was stuck in the sand at Eel Point. The spectacle drew a small crowd before the $80,000 (starting price) vehicle was pulled out by the new “I Pull Out Beach Towing” service.

Wearing dirty underpants on your head might be as effective as stepping into a Cybertruck to be seen. Yet some people seem so desperate to proclaim a total absence of any common sense they sign papers with Tesla to start lighting piles of money on fire.

Advanced fee fraud (AFF) is the technical phrase to describe a Tesla purchase, and such things should be treated as criminal.

I mean a bunch of people who invested far too much money already in Tesla’s misleading product promises now desperately are trying to dump their Cybertruck onto the market, even after suffering almost no miles of the nonsense.

Cybertrucks clearly are not selling, despite having a lack of miles on the (alleged faulty) odometer. Only 4,000 reportedly have been made in total, which means more than 100 “used” models sitting without buyers months later is an unmistakable rapid collapse in value.

This is truly a new low for Tesla, as their former models were known to flame out (literally) and end up in junkyards around 10,000 miles. Now they can’t even get their truck up to 2,000 miles before being dumped?

No wonder the car company has been loudly hinting that it doesn’t see any future in its car sales, firing everyone for four weeks already, and begging like an African dictatorship for a Chinese government bailout.

China is said quickly to have agreed to step in, and allegedly will pay Tesla for access to data on owners, as well as for control of Tesla cars as a form of global surveillance (robot spies).

Who in their right mind would pay to be a part of that deal?

If owning or even just operating a Tesla now means you are forced by Elon Musk’s poor life choices into doing the work of the Chinese military, at least he or they should pay you and not the other way around. What are they worth?

Negative value.

A free Tesla still isn’t worth the risk. Don’t let your friends or family near one.

Tesla “Smart Summon” Robot Malfunctions Yet Again, Crashes and Leaves Owner Huge Bill

Once again, Tesla “robotics” proves itself to be little more than fraud and imminent threat to society. A man who turned on his robot watched it erratically crash into others, before getting told by Tesla and his insurance company that it’s all his fault for stupidly thinking he could use the “Smart Summon” product exactly how it was advertised to him.

He used the feature to summon his parked car to pick him up.

“I was within range when I activated it,” he said. “I saw it moving initially, but then it took a sharp turn right instead of pulling out of the spot first.” He tried to deactivate the feature, but the car didn’t stop in time, so he ended up sideswiping the car parked beside it.

The estimate for damage to both cars was several thousand dollars. Ghazzoul contacted Tesla about the accident.

He said since it was their feature that malfunctioned, they should take responsibility, but he said they told him to contact his insurance company instead and that it was not their problem since he activated the feature.

His insurance company, meanwhile, said he was fully at fault for the accident.

What’s worse for Ghazzoul is that he has since discovered that it wasn’t even legal for him to use this driverless feature in public spaces in Quebec.

The crash was in spec? It’s certainly not the first time. Owners regularly report “Smart Summon” crashing with absolutely no time to prevent it, like this example where the Tesla runs a stop sign by jumping a curb and crashing into it.

Perhaps it shouldn’t be legal to put things into cars that can’t do what was advertised in the first place?

Good on Quebec for clarifying usage to the owner as illegal, however they need to be more proactive and go further. This case shows Tesla has encouraged and enabled illegal use of its remotely, centrally controlled and monitored killer robots, far more potently than anyone has been able to warn against use.

Russia Drops WWI-Era Chemicals (Tear Gas) On Ukrainian Soldiers

The U.S. government has a notable detail in their new sanctions press release.

The Department of State is concurrently delivering to Congress a determination pursuant to the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991 (CBW Act) regarding Russia’s use of the chemical weapon chloropicrin against Ukrainian troops.

Germany is said to have been the first to use the “pesticide” chloropicrin (tear gas) in WWI on the battlefield, despite being outlawed in the the 1899 Hague Convention. The gas was denoted by a blue cross on artillery warheads.

[It is the] particular horror of gas that is captured in Wilfred Owen’s poem Dulce et Decorum Est, arguably the most widely read description of the horrors of war in the English language.

In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,

He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

The Soviet Union then was known to use cloropicrin in 1989 to control crowds in Georgia, so that soldiers could rush in and hack people to death with shovels.

Working with Georgian scientists, the delegation has identified that agent to be chloropicrin… Twenty persons died and 4,000 sought hospital treatment when Soviet troops, using gases and wielding shovels, broke up an all-night demonstration by 8,000 to 10,000 Georgians… the majority of the deaths were due to the use of “sharpened shovels” by the troops who charged into the demonstration “hacking people to death”…

Shovels? Did someone say Soviet anti-democratic shock troops swung bladed shovels as a psychological and physical weapon in the past? Fast forward to Russian leadership today:

Russian Soldiers Are Attacking Ukrainians With Shovels… “The lethality of the standard-issue MPL-50 entrenching tool is particularly mythologised in Russia,” the U.K. MoD said. Indeed, the MPL-50 has become an iconic weapon of the Spetsnaz, Russia’s special operations forces. In his 1987 book about the origins of Spetsnaz, former Soviet intelligence agent Viktor Suvorov begins by explaining how the soldiers made the shovel into a deadly weapon.

It begs the question how toxic is the tear gas itself, used to illegally immobilize military targets, relative to the bladed-shovel attack that follows like a WWI trench charge.

In humans, a concentration of 2.4 g/m³ can cause death from acute pulmonary oedema in one minute (Hanslian, 1921). concentration us low as I ppm of Chloropicrin in air produces an intense smarting pain in the eyes, and the immediate reaction of any person is to leave the vicinity in haste. If exposure is continued, it may cause serious lung injury. […] As stated above, because of the tear gas effect, a person would be unable to remain in a dangerous concentration of chloropicrin for more than a few seconds. Great care should be taken to prevent unauthorized persons from approaching a fumigation site because the tear gas effect is so powerful that they may become temporarily blinded and panic-stricken, which, in turn, may lead to accidents.
